Tidy Towns – Old Photos of Glen River

The Maigue River Trust has been in contact with Charleville Tidy Towns. They are currently preparing information boards for erection on the banks of the Maigue River and some of its tributaries, including The Glen River in Charleville.
Information about species on/near the river would be included as well as some heritage features.We have established that there were tanneries on Baker’s Rd as well as the creamery. All were in close proximity to the river and may have been dependent on it. We would be delighted to hear more about the relationship between The Glen River and the tanneries and/or creamery We would especially appreciate any old photos that might throw light on the past history of the Glen River. Photos can be put in an envelope with your name and address and can be dropped at Vincents shop FAO Ian Doyle.Your photos will be taken care of and returned to you..
If you can help us please contact Cllr.Ian Doyle at 087 6644654 or by email to iandoyle245@gmail.com.
